SUMMARY:Book Talk: Celebrating 35 years of 'The Sexual Politics of Meat' With Carol J. Adams
DESCRIPTION:The inimitable Carol J Adams will be returning to Housmans this Spring to join us in celebrating 35 years since the publication of her seminal work of Feminist-Vegan critical theory The Sexual Politics of Meat.  \n\n\n\nFirst published in 1990\, Carol J. Adams’ revolutionary work has engaged\, enraged\, inspired and challenged readers with its exploration of the interplay between society’s ingrained cultural misogyny and its obsession with eating animals and masculinity. This iconic book\, referenced in rock songs\, feminist artwork and even a Law and Order SVU episode\, continues to change the lives of its readers today.Published to celebrate the book’s 35th anniversary\, this Bloomsbury Revelations edition includes a new introduction that reflects on how recent events continue to prove the relevance of this influential work. \n\n\n\nCarol will be in conversation with Dr Corey Wrenn from the University of Kent. They will discuss The Sexual Politics of Meat at length\, focusing on how its themes still resonate today\, what has changed and what has stayed the same. This will be followed by a Q&A. \n\n\n\nOur Speakers \n\n\n\nCarol Adams is a feminist-vegan advocate\, activist\, and independent scholar and the author of numerous books including The Sexual Politics of Meat: A Feminist-Vegetarian Critical Theory.
